CIVIL WAR DIARY-SANITARY COMMISSION SOLDIER/ASST SURGEON?? 1865 DIARY FROM VIRGINIA AREA.. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ORIGINAL DIARY AND WELL WRITTEN.

I BELIEVE THE SOLDIER WAS IN THE SANITARY COMMISSION, BUT HE ALSO ASSISTED THE SURGEON AND WAS PART OF 5TH, 6TH, 9TH AND CAVALRY CORP AT TIMES. JANUARY TO JULY ARE LOADED WITH DAILY ENTRIES, BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS SPORADIC ENTRIES AFTER. HE DID WRITE DOWN ALL THE MANUALS AND BOOKS HE READ, SUPPLIES HE TOOK AND COSTS, VARIOUS SOLDIERS NAMES OF WOUNDED AND SOME THAT DIED AND ADDRESSES.

THERE ARE SO MANY NAMES I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE WAS HIS - BUT IT IS JUST AMAZING STUFF. PLZ LOOK AT SOME OF THE EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY WHICH INCLUDE. MUSKETRY AND FIRES IN DIRECTION OF RICHMOND. HEARS MUSKETRY IN PETERSBURG AND CANNONADING. HE IS UNFIT FOR DUTY, CHARGES DROPPED AND THEN BEATEN BY A SQUAD OF ENRAGED CAVALRYMEN.

LINCOLN ARRIVED AT GRANT'S HEADQUARTERS. EXECUTION OF SOLDIER IN A HOLLOW NEAR HOSPITAL. GEN WARREN ON DICTATOR GUNBOAT. MET A GIRL WHO HAD BEEN A SOLDIER FOR TWO YEARS!

AT ANNAPOLIS SAW 1500 REB PRISONERS. WENT TO DEADHOUSE AND TOOK NAMES OF CORPSES. WITNESSED EXECUTION OF SOLDIER BY HANGING. REBEL IRONCLAD SEEN ON JAMES RIVER.

32 SOLDIERS CAME IN-SOME WON'T LIVE AND WILL'KICK THE BUCKET'! WOUNDED FROM 6TH CORPS CAME IN. DRESSED WOUNDS - BAD WOUNDS. WOUNDED COMING IN ALL DAY. ABE LINCOLN VISITED CAVALRY CORPS.

ROUGHLY HANDLED BY 5TH CORPS. NEWS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN ASSASSINATION & FRED SEWARD. RAISED BODY OF HENRY PHILLIPS. MORNING SPENT IN RIFLEPITS, SAW CASTLE THUNDER, LIBBY, PETERSBURG, RICHMOND, CANNON, BURNING. WASHINGTON, DC - SAW SHERMAN'S ARMY 160,000 TROOPS. TOOK 6 HOURS TO PASS. WENT TO 2ND CORPS TO VISIT REGIMENTAL SURGEON. HEARD WOMAN PREACHER - DISAPPOINTED.... AND THAT IS JUST SOME OF THE BETTER ENTRIES. MUCH CAMP, WEATHER, ETC NEWS... DIARY IS OVERALL GOOD CONDITION.

SOME WEAR ON BACK BOTTOM WHERE HE HAD IT IN POCKET OR HAVERSACK. PAGES SOUND, BUT BACK COVER DOES HAVE THAT WEAR AND CAN BE FRAGILE IF HANDLED ROUGHLY. THIS IS A GREAT DIARY AND I HAVE TO LET IT GO..
